Besides King Hiss, who's your favorite Snake Man and why??

I left out King Hiss from this poll because I think he would run away with a victory. For obvious reasons. But looking at the Snakemen in the 200x series and figures, there are some awesome characters.

Snake Face. I always liked the old figure, and the 200X designs was amazing. I also loved how he seemed to serve as King Hsss' bodyguard in the cartoon and acted as his "silent asskicker" most of the time. And he can turn folks into stone!

Gotta go with Rattlor for 200x. A strong character in the show, and not green, so he stands out a little more design wise.

This is how I saw it and that's why I voted for General. Kobra Khan had the plan, he enticed Evil-Lyn to assist but the coming of the Snake Men became a serious threat, IMHO, when General Rattlor was freed.

Snake Face!
I always enjoyed the classic figure, and out of all the Snakemen I think he was the most interesting (and most underused Snake Man) in the 2002 relaunch. Also, the NECA staction was probably THE best staction to come out of that line. I am highly anticipating his re-appearance in MOTUC, moreso than any of the other Snakemen.
Tung Lashor is my runner-up, but only the classic version. His classic toy was also a favorite, but I really disliked the redesign for the 2002 series. I liked the idea of his tongue paralyzing his prey, rather than him using it the way Toad in X-Men uses his tongue.

All in all, I actually really don't care for the Snakemen at all. Maybe it was because they were underdeveloped in the classic toyline and just were sort of a "blah" group of villains (especially next to Skeletor & Hordak's respective gangs) and therefore there's no real nostalgic attachment to them. Maybe it's because in MYP's show, they became too heavy of a focus and kinda ruined the show for me (overdeveloped or underdeveloped, they can't win me over... LOL!). Also when the 2002 toyline that was so promising prematurely morphed into the MOTU Vs The Snakemen toyline, introducing tons of fugly variants and not enough actual SNAKEMEN... maybe that left a sour taste in my mouth too. Maybe I just hate snakes. So yeah, anyways... out of the lot of them, Snake Face and Tung Lashor are my faves.

Yes! Me too. You're right, THE best staction.

LOL... at least you're honest. The line did kinda become a slither fest, didn't it. Pitty the cartoon had to end. Just when we were getting into Hordak and the Horde. Still, I give a lot of respect to the Snake Men. Snakes make great evil characters.

Snake Face at #1, followed by Kobra Khan. SF has one of the more gross action features (snakes popping out of his eye sockets), which makes him awesome. Khan is more underhanded and sneaky than any of his ancestors, which I always felt made him one of the more dangerous Snake Men.

King Hiss is not my favourite though, in fact i'd place him in third place after those two.

Voted for Snake Face. Love mythology. One of my favorite stactions. Never had the vintage toy. Close second is Rattlor. Only Snake Men we had as kids were King Hiss & Rattlor (me) and Kobra Khan & Tung Lashor (brother). Always wanted Snake Face and Sssqueeze.

Snake Face has always been my favorite Snake Man besides King Hiss. I remember the day my mom bought him and Blast Attack for me. It wasnt my birthday or Christmas or anything. She just brought them home for me one day. I was so stoked. I liked Blast Attack but I loved Snake-Face. After I read the minicomic that came with him,, and found out his powers I was really sold on him.

Tough poll. I think SNAKE FACE is the most powerful, but he didn't get enough screen time for me to really like him. RATTLOR was one of the most entertaining to watch. I loved how scary he was, but I hate the Snake Men's racism so much that I couldn't vote for him. COBRA KHAN gets my vote because he was such an outcast among his own people (despite being the first Snake Man in the original toyline) and he always tried so hard to please his master (kind of like why I think MANTENNA was the best of the Horde in POP).

Venom Spitting Khan has to be my favorite. I like him and Rattlor more than King Hsss. I like Rattlor for his *awesome* 200X action figure, but I'll probably allow my vintage Khan bias to kick in a bit here. Plus, he's *so* very cunning and treacherous, and so unapologetic about it, perfect for a venomous dude.
